WhatsApp Marketing for Business in India: A Practical Guide

In India, WhatsApp is where customers prefer to ask questions and confirm orders. Used well, it shortens the path from enquiry to sale.

Set up WhatsApp Business properly

Add your logo, address, hours, catalogue, a greeting message and quick replies. Verify your business details.

Ways to use it

• Instant reply to new enquiries
• Catalogue sharing and order updates

• Review requests after service
• Broadcast to opted-in customers

Respect consent

Message only people who have agreed. Avoid bulk forwards. Follow platform policy to protect your number.

When to use the API

If you handle many chats or need automation and multiple agents, the WhatsApp Business Platform with approved templates is the better option.
